Excessive eye blinking
My 3 year old son recently developed the behavior of blinking his eyes frequently and he completely closes his eye lid on both the eyes, shrink it and open it.
Recent change at home: I reduced the TV table height to 1 foot as I thought my son would feel neck pain. I observed the excessive eye blinking behavior after that. I am sharing this for your information. I am not sure this is a cause.
He took anti-biotic for his cold and fever. During that time, the excessive blinking reduced so much and he did it one or two times. that too once in longer period. I meant the frequency and the no. of time blinking, both reduced that time.
We do not see any vision issue. He reads books and writes. He attended his exam also.
Children don't know how to work on computer or watch tv for long time without giving trouble to eyes. While working on computer or watching TV number of blinking drastically goes down from around 24 per minute to around 8 per minute leading to severe dryness causing burning, eyestrain, blurring of vision & headache. One should try to have normal blinking while working on computer, should look away from screen after every 10 minute , should take rest for 10 minute after every 2 hours. Software professionals or children should use lubricating eye drops 4-5 times daily (Systane ultra)&genteal gel once at bed time. Dryness causes increased blinking to compensate dryness.
